Creator's Key Takeaways

Club Orange was definitely worth it for us.

We saved $1,320. Okay. Which you can see from a dollar perspective, but from a time perspective totaled about three and a half hours for us.

Priority check-in at the port... we were with the first boarding group to get on the ship.

The cost $25 per person per day on cruises 1 to 12 days, $15 per person per day on cruises 13 plus days.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Do the math on the cost per day based on cruise length.
Consider if you already have status or a suite before purchasing Club Orange.
